The Fauna

In the Protected Area, there is a fish fauna typical of Sardinian sea, and living on rocky and sandy seabed: octopus, crayfish, white breams, mullets, dentex, capons, morays, lobsters, greymullets, giltheads.

There also are curious exceptions: since the general temperature increasing some tropical species have moved to shoals before Simius beach. These new varieties are welcomed and fondled by P. M. A. staff and tourists.

Here lives Pinna Nobilis, the biggest clam in the Mediterranean. It’s quite frequent to see dauphins and several years ago also a monk seal has been sighted. The presence of those mammalia is a further confirmation of unpolluted waters: an ideal habitat in which many species find nourishment, growth and breed.

As regards to the terrestrial fauna, many birds inhabit this territory, especially on Isola dei Cavoli and Stagno dei Notteri: Peregrine falcons, green cormorants, warblers, tawny pipits, little shrikes and shearwaters, flamingos.
